When developing for reliability or implementing resilient DevOps practices, the heart of your decision-making is data. Without carefully monitoring key metrics like uptime, network load, and resource usage, you’ll be blind to where to spend development efforts or refine operation practices. Fortunately, a wide variety of monitoring tools are available to help you collect and get visibility into this data.

If you’ve ever launched a startup, you know how hard it is to find funding. It’s a huge grind just to get from conception to execution without even worrying about profitability yet. But to attract an investor, you have to show consistent revenue growth to prove they will eventually see a return. Many, many startups fail before they reach a Series A. And the industry with the highest startup failure rate? The information industry, at 63%.

In this tutorial, we will be using Heroku to deploy our Node.js application through CircleCI using Docker. We will set up Heroku Continuous Integration and Deployment (CI/CD) pipelines using Git as a single source of truth. Containerization allows developers to create and deploy applications faster with a wide range of other benefits like increased security, efficiency, agility to integrate with DevOps pipelines, portability, and scalability.

DevOps adoption is happening by the largest organizations across the globe. At JFrog swampUP 2020, Gal Marder, VP of DevOps Acceleration and Shimi Bandiel, solution architect of the DevOps Acceleration team at JFrog, spoke about the new challenges encountered by many of these large organizations practicing DevOps when it comes to Continuous Delivery in their CI/CD process.

In part one of this series on Kubernetes RBAC, we introduced authentication and authorization methods. In this article, we’ll dive a little deeper into authentication — a prerequisite for RBAC. As we saw, there are a few authentication methods including client certificates, bearer tokens, HTTP basic auth, auth proxy, and impersonation. Because HTTP basic auth and statically configured bearer tokens are considered insecure, we won’t cover them here.

Service ownership is becoming common practice and its benefits are well-known. These perks include happier customers, aligned teams, and fewer incidents. While this sounds great, it’s often easier said than done, requiring a culture and mindset shift. Leadership will need to encourage and empower teams to adopt the “you build it, you run it” mentality. Here are some ways leaders can help get teams on board.

Secret management has been one of the most challenging areas when it comes to application deployments. Especially in the era of containers and dynamic services that come and go all the time, secret storage and rotation is more important than ever. Today we release our brand-new secret management integration that allows you to use Kubernetes secrets and configmaps straight into Codefresh pipelines in the easiest way possible.

If your Helm charts could talk, what would they say to potential users? Would they boast of the power in the Kubernetes apps they deploy? Would they warn of their dangers? Would they offer advice? In JFrog’s new ChartCenter, a community repository of publicly available Helm charts, that’s exactly what they’ll do. ChartCenter reveals to users what known risks lie within the container images deployed by every Helm chart.

Today we made Konvoy 1.5 and Kommander 1.1 generally available. In January, D2iQ defined a 12 month roadmap for Kommander and Konvoy. With these newest releases focused on the Single Enterprise Experience, that mission is halfway complete. Here are some of the highlights of the latest releases.

Discover how DevOps and SREs can develop more and operate less by applying AI to events, metrics, traces and logs to keep CI/CD agile and your business growing.
